The durability of your breast implants regarding cosmetic outcomes can be affected by various natural factors, including ageing, pregnancy, breastfeeding, and fluctuations in weight. As your body undergoes these changes, the shape and size of your natural breasts may shift, which can cause the implants to no longer sit in their optimal position.

A frequent reason for undergoing implant removal surgery is capsular contracture, a condition characterised by the tightening of scar tissue around the implant. This can lead to a firm or tight sensation and may result in asymmetry between the breasts. Additionally, depending on the brand or age of the implants, a rupture may occur, causing the silicone gel to leak. If you experience pain, discomfort, or suspect there may be a problem with your breast implants, it is crucial to consult your cosmetic surgeon to determine the most appropriate course of action.
